While the concept that I am a mother who celebrates Mother's Day still seems new to me, this year was extra special and new, since I'm now a mommy to two amazing children. They make me smile and laugh, I adore them like no other, and they cause me grief that only mothers know. :) This year I asked for a relaxed day where we didn't have to rush about, worry about lines or waiting on checks with two antsy children. We eased into our day and didn't leave the house until 10 and had a little breakfast picnic on the beach. Then, we went and picked out flowers for my planters on the deck and a new tree that will be my "George" tree, a gardenia hybrid. This has become a bit of tradition, stopping at Herb's for my Mother's Day plants. Then, we came home for a nap and headed to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Richard's house for dinner. While we had a little excitement at the end (Daddy locked the keys in the car and AAA had to come rescue us) we still managed to get the children into bed at a decent hour and could relax before the busy week ahead. We didn't get many pictures since we were relaxing and doing, but Alan tried to get a few in from the day.
George really enjoyed the relaxing ;)
It was a GORGEOUS day so Caroline didn't want to stay still for a picture :)
Dapper George
Blurry but always adorable Caroline :)
Rushing out the door and remembering we should take a quick picture
never equals a quality picture. But, our moment is still captured :)
George is VERY dapper and Caroline is so sweet!
